Description & Requirements

We are a global team of creators, storytellers, technologists, experience originators, innovators and so much more. We believe amazing games and experiences start with teams as diverse as the players and communities we serve. At Electronic Arts, the only limit is your imagination.

EA SPORTS is one of the leading sports entertainment brands in the world, with top-selling videogame franchises, award-winning interactive technology, fan programs, and cross-platform digital experiences. EA SPORTS creates connected experiences that ignite the emotion of sport through industry-leading sports video games, including Madden NFL football, EA Sports FC soccer, NHL® hockey, and EA SPORTS UFC.


As a Security Software Engineer, you will partner with game developers, data scientists, fraud analysts, and other security software engineers to address some of the most interesting game security challenges out there. You will help with researching, designing, and building solutions applicable to the portfolio of Madden titles to prevent instances of cheating, botting, and tampering. The Security Software Engineer will report to the Development Director.


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience

  • Knowledge of security best practices of at least one of the following: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud

  • Game Security experience, or Enterprise Security experience


Required Technical Skills

  • 3+ years of progressively complex experience in game security vulnerability testing

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience with C++, C#, Python, or .NET programming skills.

  • Competency with MySQL and Splunk

  • At least one of the following certifications: CISSP, CEH, SSCP, or CCSP


Regardless of your specialization, a few things we're always looking for:

  • Passion. You love your craft and are always looking to learn more.

  • A sense of humility and ability to thrive in a team environment. You look for help when you're stuck and you want to help your teammates when they need it.

  • A knack for managing your time. You know when to go deeper on a task versus recognizing that it's time to get 'er done and move on to the next thing. Quality is important, but so is speed!

  • Drive to execute. Projects you've worked on in the past (personal or professional) got finished, and got finished properly... and it had a lot to do with you.
